I'm so very proud of this "soon-to-be" Clemson graduate. I've known her since she was in the sixth grade, and it seems like yesterday that I photographed her senior year in high school! Brittany is an awesome young lady, and holds a special place in my heart. And I absolutely LOVE photographing on Clemson's beautiful campus. I worked for THE UNIVERSITY for 32 years, and found so many awesome "backdrops" during that time. Brittany has spent a lot of her time at Clemson's Library, so it only seemed fitting to use that gorgeous pond and library as one of our chosen sites! Congratulations, Britt-Britt. You're gonna be a Clemson grad! Mama Black is so proud of you!!!

I get SOOOOO excited when I get a request to photograph a newborn baby. I just can't hardly stand it!! I tell the moms that the suggested timeframe is 3-10 days after delivery, mainly because the babies lose their fetal position pretty quickly. This is true, but it's also because there is NOTHING like the feel of a newborn baby's skin...with that precious little peach fuzz, and those completely awesome little noises they make. Even the cry doesn't bother me. It gives me a reason to nestle and cuddle more. LOL. This precious little doll's mother was in our youth group over 13 years ago. Wow, time sure does fly! Precious little Gracen is blessed with an awesome mom and dad, as well as a PRECIOUS, proud big brother, Coleman!! ENJOY!

I love, love, love high school and college senior sessions! High school seniors are SO excited about the future, and the world is so bright for them! It's hard to contain their excitement, and I don't WANT them to. :-) College seniors are ready to make a difference in the world, and are usually tired of tests and studying, and can't wait to be a "grown-upper".

With that being said, it is now time to schedule YOUR senior session! This time of year fills up FAST, so don't wait too long. I will be out of town a week in March, and I already have several sessions booked. If you're wanting to use your session photos for personalized graduation announcements, it's even more important to schedule early! Take a look at some of the unique cards provided last year. This variety includes front/back 4x6 and 5x7, as well as double-fold 5x7, and tri-fold 5x5 cards. The sky is the limit! We can create a custom-designed announcement JUST FOR YOU! And we can even do "thank-you" cards and business card sized "senior reps". I also offer a wide array of products including (but not limited to) leather portfolios, coffee-table books, image blocks, gallery wraps, etc.

Call today and we can get you on the calendar! 864-903-5101864-903-5101

"There's a first time for everything"....as the old saying goes. And that was true for a recent photo session. I was contacted about doing a "Gender Reveal" session for a friend of a friend. I got so excited because I'd never had the opportunity before! The cool thing was both parents didn't even know what the baby was going to be. The ultrasound results were sealed in an envelope, and a close friend prepared the balloon box that would reveal the gender. What a friend -- and what a challenge to keep it a secret! I'm so excited for this precious family as they add a new baby girl this summer, and I can't wait to meet and photograph her. Congratulations!

I had the privilege of getting to know this "hot Mama" in my CrossFit box/gym. She was a beast to work out with, and she ROCKED her maternity session, as you can see below. But when I finally got to meet little Miss Josie Cate, it was very clear where Allison's passion was. :-) She is such an awesome mother already! During her first newborn session, Little Miss Josie called the shots (pardon the pun). It seemed that eating was her favorite interest at that point. We opted for a return session, and Josie NAILED IT! She has the most unique head of hair, and the SWEETEST expressions. I could just watch her for hours! {Her full session is locked at the moment, so keep checking back. In the meantime, enjoy this sneak peek}!
